Offseason 2018

I like Bill Polian's take on the trade. Said he thinks the Saints feel the only thing they're lacking is a QB who can keep the offense going if Drew goes down for multiple games, ala Nick Foles last year. Me talking now... Brees is in the 1st year of a 2-year deal, while TB becomes a FA next year. If the Saints win it all this year, I could see Brees retiring after this season and the Saints going all out to sign Teddy. Otherwise, Drew stays, and if Teddy doesn't want to understudy for one more season, we let him go. Taysom Hill gets another year of development, and all the gamble cost us was a third round pick. They were saying on WWL tonight that the Jets were ready to trade TB to the Seahawks for a number 2 a couple of weeks ago, but Teddy's camp rejected it. They know Russell Wilson's not going anywhere. Also suggested the Saints had to have talked to Teddy's agent before pulling the trigger, so its likely he can see himself here long term.

I hope they keep Tayson. I like his gutsy do anything it takes attitude. He can play special teams and be the double secret backup to the backup at WB.

Bridgewater only has a one year deal with the Jets. If he doesn't sign a long term deal with New Orleans the Saints will receive a 3rd round compensatory pick.

I love it. Gives the Saints a backup who can keep them in the hunt for a few games if Brees can't play for a few games and if he wants to go elsewhere after the season Saints get the 3rd round of back.

Is this gonna be one of those years. Schedule is crazy hard so if we sharpen iron with iron and make it through...

I saw most of it, missed the first couple of minutes (I hear Okafor played the first few snaps, which is very encouraging). Fun game to watch, but I think they said at some point that the Rams left something like 25 players at home. That was not the Rams we manhandled. I'm maintaining what I said during the offseason....best roster in the history of the team, but with this schedule, it might not look like it at the end.

I don't think nfl schedules hold up like college. Much more parity so you never know. I'm aware that wasn't the Rams starters I'm mostly talking about a combination of them all I suppose. Consistent pressure like I don't recall. Aggressive to the ball and hats everywhere.

This d may have an it factor. Then I remember my rule. Shitty teams play harder in preseason. Good teams don't give a shit.
